Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 ribeye steaks (approximately 1.5 pounds or 680 grams total)
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Flavor Enhancers:
- 56 pepperoncini peppers
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) pepperoncini juice
Instructions
- Gently massage salt and black pepper onto both sides of the ribeye steaks, keeping seasoning light due to the inherent saltiness of the upcoming mixes.
- Arrange the steaks in the slow cooker base, positioning them without overlapping to guarantee uniform heat distribution.
- Evenly dust the steaks with au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix, creating a delicate seasoning layer.
- Carefully pour beef broth around the steaks, ensuring the liquid doesn’t disrupt the carefully applied seasonings.
- Strategically place butter atop each steak, allowing it to melt and infuse rich flavor during cooking.
- Scatter pepperoncini peppers throughout the cooking vessel, distributing them around the meat for balanced taste.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and allow the steaks to simmer on low temperature for 4-5 hours, monitoring tenderness and flavor development.
- Verify meat’s doneness, being cautious not to exceed optimal cooking time which could compromise the ribeye’s delicate texture.
- Delicately transfer steaks from the slow cooker, drizzling the aromatic cooking liquid over each piece to enhance moisture and flavor.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant visual appeal and subtle herbaceous note.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality, well-marbled ribeye steaks to ensure maximum tenderness and rich flavor when slow cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness, with thinner cuts requiring less time to prevent overcooking and maintain juiciness.
- Consider removing pepperoncini peppers for a milder taste or add extra for those who enjoy a tangy, spicy kick.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, skip the packaged seasoning mixes and create a homemade blend using herbs and spices without added sugars.
